It used to be that a telly was just a piece of kit in the corner of your lounge - now your lounge feels naked without a telly.

So if the telly is the focal point of your lounge (and for some people, their life) then the telly is the raison d'etre, the pint of the whole room.

Refining the equation, the Sony 32" Vega TV is the most superb, flat screen, "traditional" T.V. technology out there.

Yes, it takes up a substantial amount of your living space, and yes your partner may moan about the fact that it is a spartan and unemotional brushed metallic finish, but... It is fantastic and will remain so for the 4 to 5 year shelf life of the product.

Try saying that about today's fashions...

Or today's kitchens...

But anyway - this TV is idiot proof (I don't actually own it, I rent it, and can change it within my contract fairly soon, so I am not chuntering on about my "pride and joy", just my Ms Right Now, okay?????).

sorry for all the hyperbole, but I have only recently taken ownership of this kit, and I think it is amazing.

Watched Gladiator on DVD last night on it and Honest_To _ God!! it was better than the cinema.

If this isn't worth the £39.99 to Radio Rental then I'm a monkey's uncle.

Rate a review "exceptional" if it gives readers outstanding advice for making a good buying decision

The review covers all aspects of the product and its user-friendliness which would be relevant to making a product choice. All remarks are founded on evidence from personal experience and the author remains objective throughout. A reader could find sufficient information here to base his/her purchase decision on this review alone.

Rate a review "very helpful" if it clearly supports others in making a good buying decision

The review covers a wide range of product features and the author's position is clearly-explained, well-structured and founded, for the most part, on solid evidence. This review would be of great use to somebody making a product choice, but would have to be used in conjunction with other information sources.

Rate a review "not helpful" if it gives inaccurate, offensive and useless information.

The review is not a helpful decision-making aid. The information it provides is subjective and lacks foundation. Perhaps the content contains comments which do not relate to the product and may be offensive to other members.

Rate a review "off topic" if it has been posted in the wrong place and/or does not discuss the product.

Reviews relating to products in other categories, or those which stray onto unrelated subjects should be rated "off topic". This will let other readers know that they need not read the review when seeking information that would be useful in a purchase decision.

Hi and welcome to Ciao, sorry for the not helpful rating but you've not really told me anything about the tele. Have a look at some of the other TV ops to see what information you need for higher ratings. Let me know if you edit and I'll pop back and re-read. Chris x
